2023 T-Ball Rules (pdf)


T-Ball baseball is meant for kids born in either 2016 or 2017. The goal of this division is to teach players the fundamentals & rules of baseball in a fun & positive environment. This will be accomplished with a combined practice & game twice per week during the season.

2023 Schedule & Format: Tuesday & Thursday nights from April 13 through June 22rd

Players should arrive at the fields at 5:45 PM
Teams Practice from 6:00 - 6:30 PM
Break / Set-up for Game 6:30 - 6:40 PM
Games will run from 6:40 - 7:15 PM

Early in the season, all players will hit off a batting tee during games. Later in the season a pitching machine and or adult live pitching can be introduced to all T-Ball games. Experienced 2nd-year T-Ball players, who played last season, may want to consider applying to move up to the 9U (Tadpole) division, where pitching machines will be used consistently at the start of the season.

Each team will likely have 11-12 players of varying baseball abilities & experience. Throughout the season all players will be given the opportunity to play every position on the field and bat in various spots in the order.

Parental Information: Parents must remain at the field at all times, no drop-offs
The conduct & well-being of their player are the responsibility of the parent(s) while at the field Parent helpers are needed at this age. Parents are expected to help from time to time. Don’t wait to be asked by the coaches just jump right in.
